Philip, are you saying that if you are using VI in editor mode and turn on set list to make sure that a $ is in the first column as opposed to " $" in the first two columns?
That sounds like a reasonable way to check for trailing whitespace and other special characters, yes.
I go low-tech in circumstances like this, and use 'od' or 'hexdump'.
Unrelated to OP's problem, I've seen LDIF files that had UTF8 characters and/or weird EOL characters, that many editors will helpfully hide from you.
